this song probably isn't about what you think it's about. someday, maybe i'll tell the stories that inspired each verse. merry don't live here (2016) met merry for some birthday cake, but my presence was late here’s a dollar, kid, step aside, find a place for merry to hide now i keep her in a wooden box; she rings the bell if she wants to talk i haven’t heard that bell in days, so i just walked away merry don’t live here anymore merry don’t live here anymore merry don’t live here anymore merry don’t live here anymore found merry in a cardboard box, filled with paper and rocks what a fun-filled family, keep them the hell away from me so now i keep her in a wooden box; she rings the bell is she wants to talk i haven’t heard that bell in days, so i just walked away merry don’t live here anymore merry don’t live here anymore merry don’t live here anymore merry don’t live here anymore found merry with some teenage friends, always trying to outrun the trends i put her in my big red car, i didn’t get too far so now i keep her in a wooden box; she rings the bell is she wants to talk i haven’t heard that bell in days, so i just drove away merry don’t live here anymore merry don’t live here anymore merry don’t live here anymore happy don’t live here anymore now i keep her in a wooden box; she rings the bell if she wants to talk i haven’t heard the bell in days, so now just walk away
